جلوگیری از انتقال احمدرضا جلالی به بیمارستان با وجود تجویز پزشک زندان اوین

FEBRUARY 8, 2019

Imprisoned dual national scientist Ahmadreza Djalali was prevented from leaving Evin Prison in Tehran for a scheduled medical appointment with a cancer specialist because he refused to wear a prison uniform.

“During the past week he had two blood tests that showed his bone marrow cells have weakened, indicating a high possibility of leukemia,” his wife, Vida Mehrannia, said in an interview from Sweden with the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) on February 6, 2019.

“On the recommendation of the Evin Prison doctor, Ahmadreza was scheduled to see blood and cancer specialists in a hospital on Tuesday [February 5th] but he was prevented by the prison authorities from going because he objected to wearing prison clothes before being dispatched ” she added.

“It has been more than a year since Ahmadreza has become sick and extremely thin,” said his wife. “He and his family made so many requests that on November [16, 2018,] the authorities were finally forced to send him on an emergency basis by ambulance to a hospital where he underwent (stomach) surgery. But he still needs treatment.”
